The Omaha Corgi Crew is happy to welcome the Corgi Races back for its seventh year! Each year, we select local small-base rescues to support through various events and fundraising merchandise throughout the year. These rescues are often under-funded and overlooked by big donors, so we work our booties off to give them some extra love. As we corgis are a short-legged breed, we relate to being overlooked due to our size. All proceeds of this event will be donated to a few selected small-base rescues. Additionally, the grand champion of the races will get to chose one rescue of their choice to be a recipient of some of the proceeds.

By registering your dog, you agree to the following:

1. Here in the Omaha Corgi Crew (OCC) we love all dogs, large and small. However, only corgis and corgi-mixes* will be permitted to race, and ONLY racing dogs are allowed to attend this event. Please do not bring a dog to watch the races. We reserve the right to determine which dogs can and cannot race. *If you're not sure if your corgi-mix qualifies, email us and we'll evaluate on a case by case basis.

2. All corgi owners must complete the registration form linked below on the Omaha Sports Commission (OSC) website. They must also complete the waiver, and upload their dog(s) shot records (Rabies, DHHP, and Bordetella) at the time of registration. Once shot records, registration, and $15 entry fee have been received, your dog(s) will be entered into the races.

3. There will be a minimum of five heats and a maximum of 10 (excluding senior corgis and large corgi-mixes). Racers will be selected first come, first serve and registration will close when all 100 spots have been filled. You will be contacted by email with your dogs heat number and racing color after registration closes. First place from each heat (except the senior and corgi-mixes heats) will move on to the Grand Championship heat. Please watch our social media for updates on when registration closes.

4. All dogs must arrive and be checked in 30 minutes before they are scheduled to race. If you arrive late, you forfeit your entry to race.

5. All decisions regarding the call and placement/advancement of racers made by OCCs board/race staff are final and not subject to review by Owners.

6. All dogs must have two people to race - one at the starting line and one at the finish line. Racing tip: Whoever retrieves the dog at the finish line should stand back 5-6 feet to allow your dog to cross. If youre too close to the finish line, your dog will slow down and may not cross the finish line.

7. You may bring your dogs favorite toy to encourage them to run for the finish line. Toys are NOT to be played with in the staging area - only used at the finish line. ABSOLUTELY NO food, treats, lights, laser pointers, or throwing items down the track will be allowed. Please note: If your dog bites another dog or human, you will be disqualified and asked to leave immediately.

8. All dogs must be on a leash at all times while not on the race track. Once finished racing, they must be back on their leashes.

9. Owners are responsible for cleaning up after their dog(s). We recommend bringing portable water for your dog, as there will be limited communal water at the races.

10. Remember this is for FUN! Unsportsmanlike conduct of any kind will not be tolerated.
